And breathe......what a great game to watch although knicker gripping being a Vale fan. Brilliant performances across the park but I'll tell you someone who had a good game for me......THE REF!
Some fierce challenges, let the game flow, picked up on diving.....sound. Only thing I thought he could have done was send off that numpty who was charging into everyone. Was he saying "Calm down, calm down, calm down" in his best Harry Enfield the Scousers voice do you think?

I'll still be happy and clappy even IF we are out of two cup competitions this time next week - let's be fair, we have entered one of those cup competitions well over 100 times now and still never even got to the Final. As for the other, I think it's over 60 years and we have possibly the worst record in that competition of all the current league teams and have never got past this stage at all so it won't be much of a surprise to see us again capitulate.
It's impossible to predict today if we will actually be out of both competitions but you seem convinced, almost as if you want us to lose both games. For the life of me I can't understand why, I can only assume it's to satisfy your lust for failure so you can come on here and spout your diatribe.
It's not all roses and if you think any 'Happy Clapper' is happy with current results then you really are deluding yourself, I doubt anyone is happy with the current form but the season is 46 games long with cup games to add - just look down the road 5 miles, this time two weeks ago they all wanted the manager gone, now he's the new Messiah.
If trying to see the bigger picture and backing the owners, management and team rather than belittling everything possible is being a "fries short of a happy meal" then I'd rather be that than walk one footstep in your shoes.
Absolutely bang on the nose, Fred. My thoughts written down by you.....it's a mystery to me why they either bother going or come on here.
Anyway, got me pom poms ready, slobber has already formed in one corner of my mouth in order to dribble down whilst jumping up and down and clapping Vale as Mansfield's 5th goes in.....Oh, the life of a Happy Clapper! Must be so easier being in the miserable, told you so, we are sh1te, Club.

Conrad and anyone else for that matter, you need to know that we ONLY deal in cash (Sterling), Wrights Pies or High Lane Oatcakes.
Can we barter with Uncle Joe's Mintballs or Victory V lozenges? My Owd Fellah's staples whilst freezing yer dooberries off on the Railway Terrace...

The idea that you can only moan if it changes something is a bit weird. Implies that no one can grumble, ever, unless they're in a position to change it. Sorry lads, bask in the pouring rain - you can't change it!
Let people have a moan lads. It's a League 1 football forum. It's no different than spouting off in the Leopard (RIP) after a game before the internet existed.
Some folk see the positive in everything. Some folk (like me) don't. The incessant 'stop moaning' back and forth really brings down the discussion on here sometimes as any fun debate about what's going on with our little hobby degrades into about 5 lads trying to stop other lads having a bit of a whinge, which as someone from Stoke-on-Trent, is part of my birthright. It's become obsessive for a few - all they ever post is 'stop moaning!'.
If you canna handle a few lads venting and having a whinge, away from the players, club, and ground where no one really gets harmed, then don't come on a football forum - it's quite simple.
Not too sure that works Joe, stop moaning at people having a moan because it's alright for them to have a moan, if you get my drift?
Actually, it's not the moaning, griping and whingeing that bothers me too much to be honest. I used to stand on the Railway Terrace from the late 60's so it is normal Vale fans behaviour. It's the "I told you so" attitude that eventually gets to me. I completely agree that in the past, probably before your day, Joe, pre internet, all this was played out in the pub/WMC on Saturday night and then forgotten until the next Saturday.
You're probably right though, I shouldn't come on a football forum with a different opinion - it is quite simple.

Well my point is, this is a forum. You're getting your knickers in a twist because I'm expressing an opinion that differs to your own here. I give praise when I feel it's due and I'm also not afraid of handing out what I feel is deserved criticism on a football forum when, in my eyes, it's warranted. If you don't want to express a negative opinion or be critical of our staff and/or players then that's your choice. Just don't throw a hissy fit when others do.
Dear Valiiant
I do sincerely apologise for my inability to communicate with you using the correct form of written English in an earlier post. My use of fullstops was an over exaggeration, as you pointed out, and for this, again, I will apologise. I was probably misguided by the fact that this is a forum, as you so profoundly pointed out, in your post to Aspin for England, and I completely forgot that I was not writing in a formal manner as you so beautifully do. Apologies.
Now, I cannot find any evidence of you giving praise, as you suggest in the said post to Aspin, in any of your posts. In fact, they seem to read as a complete indictment of anything the club does. Please could you point me towards a supportive post so that I can disprove my own theory that you are in fact on a wind up?
Also, I actually do not see too much evidence of your quoted "hissy fits" going on but of course this is a forum so one man's hissy fit is another man's support, as the saying goes.
Best wishes and I hope you enjoy this evening's game from wherever in the ground you sit and it doesn't prove too much of a disaster for you. (I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy a good, solid 3-0 home defeat in order to light up this forum!)

You're happy to accept absolute crap. So what if we lose 7-0 just aslong as the manager say's we go again, right? Give yourself a pat on the back and then get right back to happy clapping from your rocking chair.
Christ, I looked in his eyes and there was no driver......you're a WUM aren't you? Come on, come clean....
What did you do after Satdee.....protest outside the club? Are you in fact there now? Are you at this moment organising a protest group? Or are you sitting there pi$$ing yourself behind your screen.....if so, top effort Fellah!
Me, I've stopped Unhappy Happy Clapping after that shambles and I'm hoping we get it sorted tonight.....not 100% hopeful tbh but it's called supporting your team through thick and thin......recognise it?

How's the burying their head in the sand brigade tonight?
Happy as ever....but I bet you're dead chuffed....you were right all along.
Here's the plan, when Crosby gets the bullet why don't you apply? OR even better offer to buy the club? Oh no, wait now, you never said that......Jesus wept! Did you cream your pants at a 7-0 drubbing as well as Valiiant? Weirdos.....

What would you rather we do Rob ?
Wake up and smell the coffee, criticise every mistake made on the pitch, criticise Carol for only spending x million pounds instead of x+y million, criticise DF for not forcing Lionel Messi to join the Vale rather than go to the USA, criticise everything and anything just to be able to say 'I told you so, I'm always right'.
To what end, it's football, teams win, teams lose and sometimes they draw. Look at some of the clubs we have played on a level playing field recently (years not months) :
Stoke, West Brom, Leeds, Newcastle, Norwich.
Yes, they've gone on to have much success, do I envy them, of course, would I like to see Vale emulate them, of course.
Now let's look at some others:
Darlington, Torquay, Chester, Chesterfield, Aldershot.
Yes, they've all sank alarmingly, do I envy them, of course not, would I like to see Vale emulate them, of course not.
We all support Port Vale for whatever reason, criticising everything gets us where exactly ?
Sack the players, sack the manager, sack the DOF, force Carol out of the club.
Bring in new people with the financial clout to get us to the Champions League, bring in a manager who knows how to WIN WIN WIN, bring in the players that never make mistakes.
It's easy isn't it, if only it were.
Keep the faith, Up the Vale, Love this club, see you Tuesday - we go again.
Bob on BHF......hence my bite on Valiiant yesterday.....it just boils yer pi$$ dunt it?

Wigan Athletic (H) match thread - 16th Dec
in Port Vale present
Posted
Agree with your first point...I'd forgotten that. He picked it up but didn't book him, you're right. Then he should have walked later.
However, I don't think he ever lost control. How many refs this season would have kept stopping it when blokes fell over when they felt a slight nudge in the back. He was having none of that. For me, 8 or 9 cards doesn't show a lack of control and I don't think we would have had the full blooded game we got with some of this season's refs. My opinion, yours is different but I prefer the game to keep going rather than being as stop/start as some.
